add nix-shell file for building with nix #578

Open ahoneybun opened 3 weeks ago

Once you enter shell in the firmware-open repo it will basically run though the install-deps and coreboot-sdk scripts so that you can build your firmware right after it is done. I tested with the qemu firmware test to make sure that it did work.

I'm going to test on Pop!_OS next as this was done on NixOS to be sure that I have all of the depends.

Can flashrom be added as well? I currently have to use flashrom in a Nix shell in order to use the ch341a to flash many of the newer BIOS chips, since the flashrom in Jammy is quite old.

ahoneybun commented 3 weeks ago

Yep I can add that! The reason for adding the shellHooks would be to run the shell command once and have everything ready to build firmware. I do note that every time that you enter the shell it would pull the latest code and recompile which can be a lot. Another reason for that would be to not have another script (we could add logic for NixOS in the current ones thought).

Alright I was able to build and run the QEMU example on Pop!_OS 24.04 with nix now with the latest commit. I have not tested flashing the firmware yet.

Can you build firmware for one of our machines? I'm getting this failure when building galp5.

I'll test the galp5 and fix that.

ahoneybun commented 3 weeks ago

Alright I was able to build firmware for the galp5, galp7 and addw3.

Might want to include the hidapi package as well, ./ec/scripts/ectool.sh needs it, on NixOS at least.

ahoneybun commented 6 days ago

Add that @DrymarchonShaun didn't cause any issues with building QEMU so it should be fine, does it fix your issue?

DrymarchonShaun commented 6 days ago

Yeah, that should do it.
